Got Dinan?

"performance" air filters are sucker plays. None of them are appreciable benefits.

Buy a stock filter and change it every oil change and your flow rates will remain nice and high- and the engine protected.

Use an oiled filter you WILL risk fouling your MAFs over time.

I don't agree with any of that. These filters add dyno-proven power; not a huge amount, but they do work. As far as fouling the MAF sensor, I've had a K&N filter on two different cars from new, and both now have over 160k with no issues.

You simply need to follow the K&N cleaning kit instructions when cleaning and re-oiling at normal service intervals. Don't over-oil.

I would check with Dinan if the K&N cleaning/oil kit is what they recommend.

This ^ and this..........you could buy a new Dinan filter and install it. Keep and clean the old one and just rotate them. Follow the K&N recharge instructions and you don't have to worry about the MAF. Besides Dinan filters are made by K&N ....................Phil
